separated by whit-space. Only the last descriptor of the
full dictionary name is needed here (e.g. “NGCDCS
STOO_CFG ...”).
DET.CON.XTERM
Logical
Start all (sub-) processes in new terminal.
DET.CON.LOG (*)
Integer
Logging level. Logs system messages in the standard
log-file, so that they can be seen in the CCS logMonitor.
The level gives the detail of the messages.
Default value is 0 (= no debugging, only error logging),
in case the keyword is not present.
DET.CON.ITCPROC

Defines the name of the Image Transfer Client process
which implements image post-processing. If not
defined, "ngcoitc" is used.

is used.
Table 1 - Startup Configuration Keywords
The startup configuration file assigns a name and some access-right attributes to the
configuration set.
3.2.2. Startup Procedure
The system startup is performed through a startup script:
ngcoDcsStart [options]
The startup scripts loads the startup configuration defined by the CCDNAME environment
variable or by the option –instance option, starts the coordination control process and
waits - with a default timeout - until the coordination control process is active (i.e., it
responds to PING commands).
options can be used to overwrite the values of the parameters in the configuration set
keywords:
- instance
- env
- lenv
- opmode
